Our High School and Middle School teachers wear a lot of different hats, teaching classes across multiple subjects and grade levels! So instead of highlighting by department, we’re showing off our staff by location. First up, meet the wonderful teachers of the High School Central Hallway!
From English and Mythology to Creative Writing, Math, Algebra, and Personal Finance, these ladies bring a wide range of knowledge, creativity, and dedication to our classrooms. They work hard every day to help our students learn, grow, and prepare for what comes next.
We’re so thankful for the heart, hard work, and care they put into teaching our Yellowjackets. We’re lucky to have these ladies as part of the WPS family!
Stay tuned as we continue to introduce you to more of the amazing people who make Westville Public Schools special! 💜


If you walked through the Middle School this evening, you probably spotted the amazing projects from Mrs. Carlton’s Math, Art, and Games (MAG) class!
Students researched animals, built their own animal creations using cardboard boxes, and then measured the volume of their finished projects!
What a fun way to bring together math, art, research, and creativity in one hands-on project! These students put their imaginations to work, and the results are pretty amazing. It looks like they had a blast bringing their Volume Zoo to life!
We love seeing our Yellowjackets learn by creating, exploring, and having fun along the way! 💜💛

Today, we’re celebrating three members of our WPS family who make a difference in the lives of our students and in our school community every day!
✨ HS/MS: Lara Plumb — Middle School English Teacher
Mrs. Plumb is someone who is always willing to step up for her team. This year, she took on a big change by moving from teaching Senior English to Middle School English. She embraced the change with a positive attitude and has jumped right in to support her students and fellow staff. We’re grateful for her flexibility, dedication, and willingness to do what’s best for our students!
✨ Elementary: Brenda Hummingbird — Pre-K 3 Teacher
Our youngest Yellowjackets are lucky to have Mrs. Hummingbird! She brings so much love, patience, and dedication to her classroom each day. The care she puts into helping her students learn, grow, and feel loved makes a lasting difference. We’re thankful for everything she does for our little learners!
✨ Support/Admin: Shirley Kindle — Cafeteria Staff
Shirley may be new to our cafeteria team, but she has already become a wonderful part of the WPS family! In her first year, she has shown how hardworking, dependable, and positive she is—and she always seems to have a smile ready to share. We’re so happy to have her on our team!
Please help us congratulate Lara, Brenda, and Shirley! We appreciate you and all the ways you help make Westville Public Schools a special place to be. 💜

Our Pre-K 4 team is pretty awesome! They make learning fun while helping our little Yellowjackets build the skills and confidence they need for their school journey.
In Pre-K 4, learning happens through play, exploration, creativity, hands-on activities, and plenty of opportunities to learn how to be a great classmate. From learning letters and numbers to practicing independence, sharing, problem-solving, and making new friends, these students are building a foundation that will carry with them for years to come.
We’re so thankful for the energy, patience, creativity, and care our Pre-K 4 team brings to the classroom every day. They’re helping our youngest learners get ready to learn, grow, and thrive!
